Linux fails to find network card?

I'm trying to install Red Hat 7 from cd. It never detects my network card. Install completes fine (although it never prompts me to configure my network card), and the system boots fine post-install just without network support.

I'm using a LinkSys LNE100TX, version 5.0 card, trying to use the tulip driver (tulip.o). All Linksys's website says is that my BIOS is probably configured incorrectly. But I don't know how else to configure it, and the card works fine with the dual booting Windows 98.

Checking out the contents of /proc/pci, the card is an "unknown networking device" but it won't be recognized as eth0. Any ideas what to do?
